The Underground Bookstore stocks a variety
of books on black heritage and history and
includes a mix of African and Diaspora authors.
The
Underground Bookstore was founded almost three decades ago on the South
Side of Chicago Illinois and has been diligently serving it’s community
ever since. Our model has been if it exists in literature and you want it,
we find it!
The genres
range from mystery, esoteric, spiritual, new world order, health, fiction
and so much more! We also have a sizable section on children’s books.
You’ll find historical books and recent ones on Black P. Stone Nation,
Frederick Douglass’s autobiography, and histories of African
civilizations. While books are our main product because we believe
knowledge is indeed power, we also have other cultural items such as
incense, Egyptian Ankhs and Eyes of Horus, etc.
Our mission is about empowering our communities with historical knowledge
and educating our youth, and our heart is about service to the people in a
variety of ways. While not all of our items are listed on-line at this
time, we are proudly still in the customer service business and are only a
phone call away. Don’t hesitate to contact us.

GNetX Sequence Multivitamins
(Founder: Dr. Gregory Hall)
Greg
Hall, MD, is a primary care physician practicing in Cleveland, Ohio
for over 30 years. Dr. Hall’s extensive research in the care of diverse racial
and ethnic groups led to the development of a multivitamin designed to help
supplement our specific nutritional needs. Using precision medicine, he
established VitaCode, LLC, and began selling GNetX® Sequence Multivitamins as a
landmark in next-generation nutraceuticals.
GNetX® Sequence Multivitamins are not just another multivitamin made by a
Black-owned company; the formulation is uniquely different from all other
multivitamins. GNetX® Sequence Multivitamins address the research-confirmed
vitamin and mineral deficiencies seen in countless clinical studies. By using
precision medical research and recognizing our unique supplement needs,
including more vitamin D, C, and certain minerals, and identifying the potential
harm that other vitamins may pose, like vitamin E, he was able to establish a
"precision multivitamin" that helps serve our community.
In addition to heading VitaCode, LLC, the maker of GNetX® Sequence
Multivitamins, Dr. Hall founded the National Institute for African American
Health (NIAAH), which mentors young Black pre-medical and medical students as
they work toward becoming doctors. NIAAH also educates medical providers on best
practices when treating Black patients.

The SYSTEM is COLLAPSING!!!
We all see it...though some will always be in denial:
Excessive to Unaffordable Costs of
Living...
...Outrageous Health Care Costs...
...Ridiculous College Costs...
...Forget-It Housing & Rent Costs...
Food, Fuel, Child Care...whatever...
...all this on top of
INEPT GOVERNMENTAL MANAGEMENT...
...with INCREDIBLE NATIONAL DEBT!!!
ITS ALL CRAZY...and ILLOGICAL,
distorting the divine purpose of humanity and humanitarianism.
"Semi-Socialism"
combines capitalism and socialism/communism into a hybrid that
enhances their positives while canceling their negatives. It ensures
that all existing citizens--as well as those yet to be born--are
assured of all essentials needed to make their lives comfortable and
progressive.
It is the socialist
distribution of the necessities and capitalist or free-market
distribution of the luxuries and/or non-essentials. The book also
lists a complete governmental model capable of administering the
semisocialist system. |
